Skin Tightening & Facial Contouring

Description

Forma is a skin and tissue remodeling technology equipped with a subdermal heating applicator. Radiofrequency travels via electrodes to deliver a non-invasive and pain-free treatment, and its controls allow the device to reach optimal temperatures. Forma effectively treats the forehead, upper and lower eyelids, nasolabial folds, jowls and neck.

Forma was developed based on the clinical success of the proprietary A.C.E. (Acquire, Control, Extend) technology. A.C.E. technology uses radio-frequency energy to target deep layers of the skin, with no area being under or over treated. This ensures maximum and consistent results.

Benefits

Forma is suitable for all skin types and is appropriate for individuals seeking a non-invasive and a natural looking approach to achieve a younger appearance without surgery, scars, or downtime.

Forma can be used in combination with most other laser treatments, facials, injectables and/or filler.

Treatable Areas

Forma can be used on both the face and body.  Commonly treated areas on the face include: forehead, crows feet, upper eyelids, lower eyelids, nasolabial folds, jowls, smile lines and neck. On the body, popular treatments consist of the arms (bat wings), abdomen and other areas that may need contraction.

Pretreatment Instructions

None

Expectations

Forma is an essentially painless procedure with no downtime due to its precise technology and deep-layer targeting of the skin.

Post Treatment Instructions

Patients should moisturize the treatment area and avoid direct sun exposure. It is also recommended that patients use a broad-spectrum sunscreen every day. In addition to reducing the risk of skin cancer, sunscreens also slow the aging process. 

Recommended Sessions

It is recommended that weekly sessions are performed over a six-week period. Individuals may be treated in fewer sessions with more weeks between each treatment. Scheduling should be based on a medical pre-evaluation.

Anticipated Results

Visible results can be seen within a few days, but typically after three weeks, the most noticeable results appear. Improvements continue up to three months after treatment.

Side Effects

Slight redness in the treatment area is common post-procedure, which subsides within a few hours.

Cost

Treatments start at $150 per treatment zone.
